KUCHING: The Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Batu Kitang Charity Drive was launched yesterday afternoon at the Batu Kitang Service Centre by the Batu Kitang State Assembyman, Lo Khere Chiang. He said in view of the rainy season, the branch was preparing for floods.
“I appeal to those who have old clothes, non-per i shabl e goods or toys to donate them to the various centres so that the Batu Kitang service centre staff can itemize and store them on the ground f loor. We wi l l keep the public informed of the items received now and then,” he said.
Lo also thanked SUPP Sentosa, Stakan, Kuching and Pending branches for assisting in the project. Meanwhile, the Organising Chairman of the Project, Gerald Goh said December was the month of car ing and giving.
“As heavy rainfall always cause floods in low-lying Batu Kitang, the preparat ion to help the needy is timely,” he added. SUPP Batu Kitang has set up a committee to manage the collection centres at the different venues.
Donors can donate the i r i tems at the col lect ion centres at The Spring, Boulevard and Vivaci ty shopping mal l s between 10am and 10pm. SJK Chung Hua at 4 ½ mile will also be used to accept donations of necessities from December 1 to 23 daily (10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm).
